Oil and gas refining demands the highest standards of equipment quality, material certification, and safety compliance. Steam systems in refineries operate at high pressures and temperatures with flammable and toxic fluids, every valve, trap, and fitting must be correctly specified and fully certified. AQ Process Systems sources and exports fire-safe, NACE-compliant, and API-coded equipment to refineries across Indonesia and East Africa.
In Indonesia, we supply refinery equipment to Pertamina's facilities at Cilacap (the largest Indonesian refinery), Balikpapan, Dumai, Balongan, and Plaju. We also serve LNG processing facilities in Bontang and Tangguh, petrochemical complexes in Cilegon and Merak, and the expanding biofuel processing sector. Indonesia's refinery modernisation programme (RDMP) is driving demand for upgraded valves, instrumentation, and safety systems.
In East Africa, we serve the Kenya Petroleum Refineries Ltd (KPRL) facility in Mombasa, emerging refinery projects in Uganda (Albertine Graben), Tanzania's gas processing infrastructure, and Ethiopia's planned refinery developments. The East African crude oil pipeline (EACOP) and associated facilities represent a growing market for quality steam and process equipment.
| Product Category | What We Supply |

| Strainers | Basket and Y-strainers for process lines, fuel gas, and instrument air. Temporary cone strainers for turnaround commissioning. |
| Boiler Spares | HRSG and package boiler components for refinery utility steam generation. |
| Condensate System Spares | Flash vessel internals, deaerator trays, condensate pump parts for refinery steam/condensate loops. |
Indonesian and East African refineries share common challenges: ageing infrastructure requiring increasing maintenance spend, long OEM lead times (especially from European valve manufacturers), the need for NACE-compliant and fire-safe certified equipment, and pressure to reduce turnaround durations. AQ Process Systems supports turnaround planning with early procurement of long-lead items, pre-packaged valve sets, and emergency supply capability for unplanned outages.
Yes. All ball, gate, and plug valves for refinery applications are available with fire-safe certification to API 607 and BS 6755 Part 2. Fire-safe design ensures basic sealing integrity during and after a fire event. We supply fire-safe valves from multiple manufacturers, matching your specification and delivery requirements.
Yes. We supply valves, fittings, and trim materials compliant with NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 for sour (H₂S-containing) service. Material certificates confirm compliance with hardness, chemical composition, and heat treatment requirements for sour service exposure.
Yes. We support turnaround planning by pre-procuring long-lead items (valves, safety valves, control valve trim), providing bulk steam trap replacement sets, and maintaining emergency stock of common refinery items. Early engagement, 6-12 months before the turnaround, allows us to secure the best pricing and lead times.
The most common requirements are API 600 gate valves (mainline isolation), API 602 forged valves (small bore), API 594 check valves, API 526 safety valves, and control valves with low-noise/anti-cavitation trim. Materials are typically WCB/LCB/WC9 carbon and alloy steel with Stellite-hardfaced trim. We stock and source all of these.
Yes. We ship to all major Indonesian ports, Tanjung Priok (Jakarta), Tanjung Perak (Surabaya), and directly to Cilacap, Balikpapan, and Dumai ports. Door-to-site delivery with customs clearance support is available. Typical transit from Mumbai is 10-14 days by sea.
Share your requirements, we respond within 24 hours with pricing and lead times for Indonesia & East Africa delivery.
